That is a common misconception. That simply isn't true. Besides, we're talking about thunder here. Even if the snake didn't hear it, it can certainly feel it. Given the low frequencies of thunder, I'm sure the snake did hear it. Low frequencies travel through the jaw bone into the incomplete inner ear that snakes have, so they tend to hear low rumbling/music bass just fine and it usually frightens them. That's the sound they would hear when there is an approaching stampede of large mammals so it's understandable it would frighten them.
